Stroke volume is the volume of blood pumped out during each contraction by a ventricle. Heart rate simply put is the number of heart beats per minute. Cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped out per minute. The relationship mathematically is Car...

Outside this online world, unlike most of the people (I am not going to name) here who spend a lot of time here online bashing about people who come out to seek help and answers but instead gets bashed about their stories/situations.

If we take this discussion outside the online into a real world, I doubt half of these "honesty" will come out. When the OP is directly asking some questions, and the people instead start roaring about something else (although related, but not asked ...

The world outside this online discussion thread will be more kind and less judgmental, imho. Because in a real world you will have variety of people, rather than people with same opinion. But it is always good idea to learn from the mistakes and list...

I am sorry, but I am bit confused about this homework. What's the question? Finding out what the Medical/Nursing Diagnosis or something?

i think the best thing is to move and learn from the mistakes. that aside, since you are a new grad maybe you could avoid mentioning your first job to start with. good luck. ---- i think a lot of people are missing the point - he or she is asking for...

Are you sure the question reads Colace 20mg per teaspoon? ordered is 3/4 gr = 0.75 gr = 48.75 mg if 1 gr is 65 mg. available = 50 mg Amount = Desired (Ordered) / Available (On hand) X Quantity ( tabs in this case) =48.75 mg / 50 mg ...

I can see why o2 sat will have higher priority over cardiac monitor even though the patients chief complaint has to do with the chest pain. For one breathing ces before circulation and secondly the patient was laboring at breathing at high rate.

Man, I can see what exactly you are saying. But I can also see why your instructor's answer is more correct in a sense as well. I k For example, for the first problem both you and the instructor are correct - equally. from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medl...

I think it is in the right order in general. But I think the order of priority can change very easily depending on the nursing dx (full 3 parts). For example if the patient is immuno suppressed, the priority for the risk for infection will rise. Simi...

Here is an easy one Activity intolerance r/t sob and high bp secondary to afib aeb (any evidence u noticed during assesment/observation).

Left knee infection - cause could range from knee surgery and acquiring an infection as it got expose to pathogens in the health facility to extoxins within the body.

i estimated 1 dram as 4 cc. that 250mg per dram is the drug available per volume and i used it as 250 mg/4cc - while doing calculations above.

I m not sure what we call this condition bit I hope u r not planning to add that to the nursing dx, because physician diagnoses the medical condition. It is not within nurse's scope of practice. Nurse does nursing diagnosis -- patients response to ...

I did like this ::: Drug available/volume available = drug ordered/volume to administer 120 mg/ 5 ml = 250 mg/ ml to admin ml to admin = 250 mg/ 120 mg X 5 ml ml to admin = 10 ml

Ok I tried proble #4 b like this:: Drug available/volume available = drug ordered/volume to administer assuming 1 dram equals 4 cc 250 mg/4 cc = 2000 mg/ cc to administer 32 cc = cc to admin. But we got to divide that into 4 equal doses as question ...

Wow. U hav done enough. Wondering if u would still be working on finding more ways to "bust" the person if he was your friend, hubby or family. Human first, nurses second.

I think acute pain since that is more physiological(maslow's) than the rest and technically as a nurse (or trying to become one) acute pain is happening right now compares to the other nursing dx that are only risk for this and that.

I personally think u did a great job with all aspects of your care plans. But maybe if u want, consider adding a better/more or concise aeb part for this I think just having a bruise on one toe doesn't seem to link too good with all the r/t factor...

Does your healthcare facility hire employees with HIV or hepatitis? Or is it a don't ask don't tell policy thing?

hi daytonite, i was wondering you could help us understand when prioritizing the nursing dx should we be look at the problem statement, r/t or aeb? Because I was thinking sleep has more priority over activity. Thanks for your help.

I see. I don't have a care plan book, but I can see the problem statemet could be something similar to educating or providing resources and guidance since it is evident that patient wants to get better or taken well care of. I m sure there should be ...

I also forgot to mention that schools do have ASL interpretor, whether it ne nursing class or not.

Oh I see. If that's so, no problem either. American Sign Language is here. Such nurses can work with patients who can't talk or hear if they desire to. My knowledge is very limited but I know that nursing field is a very vast career field, it is not ...
